The Americas G. d will remain here. The race
over the outside course, which was postponed on
Thursday because of lack Of wind, was sailed
Yesterday and the Volunteer won by l. minutes
AZ "a seconds after allowing the Thistle SIX
seconds, or b IL minutes "a 3-4 seconds actual
time.
The course was twenty miles TO windward and
return from the Scotland Lightship. During the
race a fresh whocsail breeze prevailed with
lumpy sea. just the sort of weather In winch
cutter usually shows 10 the best advantage as
compared with q contreboard sloop, But in the
twenty miles thrash TO w;ndward the Volunteer
beat the Thistle by IA minutes 40 Ia seconds
These figures are conclusive. They tell their
own story No abatement has 70 be made from
them The conditions were the same for both
hoats They simply represent to what extent
,be Volunteer Is superior 10 the Thistle in wind
,yara work in such weather as prevailed.
THE THISTLE BEATEN AFTER THE SECOND TACK.
The issue OF the race was never in doubt
after the boats care about on the second tack,
and it was only question OF how much the
Volunteer had gained by being able to lie closer
TO the wind than the cutter Thereafter the race
as n race lost much OF It's interest. because the
Volunteer continued steadily TO outpoint and out
foot the cutter unt'' the windward marlx was
wind back to the starting line the Thistle gained
minutes 81 i-2 seconds The wind freshcncd
during Ibis stage of the race and ms it came up
from behind il helped the Thistle little more than
the Volunteer Something, too, she gained by
being quicker to set her spiLnalScr than was the
Volunteer. 1t is probable, however. that the
Thistle Is n trinc faster than the Volunteer In
running before the wind. That much can be
conceded with good grace when the Volunteers
great superiority in beating against the wind is
proven beyond dispute. II was the opinion OF
most iudges that IL the wind had blown harder
the Volunteer would have gained still more on
the Thistle In the thrash to windward. The
actual time consumed by the Volunteer in COM
/, letting the forty miles was hours AZ minutes
30 IA seconds, and by the Thistle hours "a
minutes 81 seconds.
THE EXCURSION BoATs HID BETTER MANNERS.
Many steamboats,. steam yachts and tugs ac-
companed the yachts, Notwithstanding the un-
propitious weather, but their number appeared
small by conn arscn with the myriad OF crait
OF all sorts that crowded about the racers on
Tuesday. The steamers on the whole Lchavod
themselves well and the Scotchmen can cX-
tcnuate nothing on that score.
The Volunteer having won two races, no third
race is necessary TO settle the possession OF the
cup. After the exhibition the Volunteer gave
Yesterday OF her speed the Scotsmcn themselves
can hardly question that she is the superior
boat. II they still banker after the cup they
must take to heart the lesson taught by Bruce
and the spider and airy, try again. In the
meantime there is cause for rejoicing in this
latest evidence that Americans Can still
build faster yachts than any other Nation.

Gettin: After Them.

The police jury of Pointe Coupee
parish are after the justices of the
peace in that parish for making lille
gal charges. In the report of the
proceedings Of that body we find the
following remarks from the finance
committee
Most of their bills are made out
for double the amount. In the
White disaster twenty-thrce jurles
we're summoned by the magistrate
TO sit over tw~enty,three different
bodies, in order to find out what ua-
known cause brought about Their
death, that the poor victims might
he v;ndieated and evidence obtained
hy which the doors of the violence
might be captured. One hundred
and twenty FIVE jurors were sum
moned at a cost Of two dollars q
day and mileage per .Jnror to vlndl'
cate the majesty Of the law. Unless
these violations of the law are
promplv checked. it will not be long
before the parish is lankrupted by
the payment of illegal fees.
In consequence of this report these
unnecessary and illegal charge:
growing out Of the inquest Of the
victims of the White disaster were
all rejected.

to build the Jeaherette and Abbeville
railroad, and with the same spirit OF

Of this place, We will see the towns

than J%eanerette. Jeanerette has
shown herself in such a manner O;
